The fabric of a wrap dress plays a significant role in how it drapes and fits on your body. Opt for fabrics with a bit of stretch, such as jersey. These fabrics allow for more flexibility, allowing for the dress to move with you, ensuring a comfortable and flattering fit. For a flattering wrap dress that will skim your figure without feeling tight you’ll want to try the Megan Slinky Jersey Frill Detail Midi Wrap Dress. In a variety of different colours and prints, this gorgeous wrap dress is the perfect style for any occasion. Dressed up or down we love how comfortable and confident this dress makes you feel.

ADJUST THE FIT

Most wrap dresses come with a tie or belt to adjust the waistline. Experiment with the placement of the tie to find your most flattering fit. You heard it here first; the waist belt doesn’t have to sit on your waist. Why not try it slightly higher or lower until you find the fit that is perfect for you. The same goes for the tightness of the tie, adjust it to find the perfect level of comfort and support.

EXPERIMENT WITH DRESS LENGTHS
